FilmSharks hunts down sales deals in Cannes

Based on true events, and drawing inevitable parallels with the kidnapping of Ingrid Betancourt, “Milagrosa” kicks off with the abduction of a well-to-do Colombian by FARC guerrilla forces. His time in captivity proves a life-changing experience.

In other FilmSharks deals at Cannes, Paris Filmes has taken Brazil and Eurofilms Peru on Argentine Juan Taratuto’s B.O. hit “A Boy Friend for My Wife,” which has struck a remake deal with an undisclosed company. “Boy Friend” has been licensed to near 20 territories.
